These tools to “predict crime” harm us all by treating entire communities as potential criminals, making society more racist and unfair. Governments across the UK must prohibit the use of these technologies. Right now, they can demand transparency on how these systems are being used. People and communities subjected to these systems must have the right to know about them and have meaningful routes to challenge policing decisions made using them.AI Verified source (Aug 25, 2025)

The quote directly addresses predictive policing tools ('tools to “predict crime”') and explicitly says governments 'must prohibit the use of these technologies,' which clearly supports banning predictive policing.

The quote clearly supports a ban: it says governments "must prohibit the use of these technologies" referring to tools used to "predict crime."

The official Amnesty International UK page at the cited URL, titled "19,403 people called on the UK to ban \"crime predicting\" technology" and posted 25 August 2025, contains this passage verbatim in consecutive text (lines 278-280). The page is published by Amnesty International UK, so the attribution is supported.

I could not confirm this as a single real, verbatim Amnesty International UK quote. The source URL now redirects to Amnesty’s general surveillance page and does not contain the quoted text. ([amnesty.org.uk](https://www.amnesty.org.uk/actions/ban-predictive-policing)) Amnesty materials from 2025 contain closely related but different wording split across multiple sources: the 17 January 2025 “Automated Racism” page says supporters signed a petition “to prohibit automated and ‘predictive’ policing systems in England and Wales”; the February 2025 report/PDF contains the “Almost three-quarters of UK police forces...” passage with different punctuation and fuller rights language; and the action-URL search snippet contains only the later “Governments across the UK must prohibit...” paragraph. That makes the submitted text look like a composite/paraphrase rather than a verbatim quote. ([amnesty.org.uk](https://www.amnesty.org.uk/predictive-policing))

Verified via web search. The quote is from Amnesty International UK's campaign page "Stop Automated Racism: Ban 'Crime Predicting' Technology by Police" at amnesty.org.uk/actions/ban-predictive-policing. Search results confirm the verbatim phrases: "almost three-quarters of UK police forces", call to prohibit automated and predictive policing systems, disproportionate impact on "Black and racialised communities," and demands for transparency and routes to challenge decisions. The vote "for" on "Ban predictive policing" perfectly aligns with the quote's central call. Source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but content is confirmed.
